I wonder why U.K. newspapers keep getting the "exclusive" on the Beatie family.

Awww, baby Susan is very cute, and they all look very happy together

YAY! I love this guy so much, I mean how brave is he?!
But I hate how it's always "Man" gives birth or whatever... like putting his gender in quotes is implying that his manhood is a matter of opinion...

Yeah, and the comments are always rude. "Stop saying man! Its a woman!" Grrr...

I learned a long time ago that comments on anything LGBT-related will always have plenty of rude, uneducated replies. "He-she", "'Man' Gives Birth", everything. Notice, though, that the two "it's still a female" comments are from the USA and the one "it's a male" comment is from the UK. That's pretty sad.
